"So, did you kick Vivi's butt in training today?" Ellion asked Alice and she went quiet. Saracen must have known because he stopped his conversation with China to look over. Alice put down her knife and fork as she finished her dessert and prepared for everyone telling her she was better than what she was doing.
"Uh, no actually. Vivi beat me twenty-four to one." she replied and stared down at her plate, ashamed.
"That's okay, you can get her next time. Not everyone can be good at everything." Ellion shrugged. "When I first started training I was terrible. The worst in my class actually."
"Really? You're not mad and disappointed that I'm not living up to my family name by not being as good as Valkyrie?" Alice whispered so only Ellion could hear her.
"Of course not. You're your own person. You're not mini Valkyrie and I don't expect you to be." he told her and she smiled. A genuine smile.
"Thanks. I feel that some people here do expect me to be as good as Valkyrie. Like Myosotis. She kept saying that I was better than what I had been doing and when Valkyrie was my age she could do all these things that I had no idea how to do"
"Valkyrie also started off when she was 12. She grew up training for it. Myosotis is just trying to drive you."
"I guess. But how is putting me down and comparing me to my sister supposed to make me want to continue and not give up?" Alice frowned.
"Well, you're still here, aren't you? She's just assuming that you want to be like Valkyrie. That Valkyrie is your inspiration." he explained.
"Why would I want to be like Valkyrie? I'm me, not her..." Alice started but soon realized the connotations of what she'd just said. She kind of did want to be like Valkyrie. She was jealous of Valkyrie. And being jealous is just wanting what another person has for yourself. And she did want what Valkyrie had.
"You see, I have been observing the way you are with your sister. I have come to the conclusion that you're trying to be like her. The person that you're using as your cover is very similar to Valkyrie. You're trying to be her and you'd don't even realize it. So, your subconscious is covering your jealousy of her with hatred and anger. I think you'd actually get along with her quite well. But because the mystery girl, the real you, is different from Valkyrie the brutal style of fighting that she uses is not going to work with you. You're like me. You're strategically smart. If you want, we can do one-on-one training together so I can help you find what your best at and we can work on it so you can blow everyone away in your test. Not everyone can fight like Valkyrie and Myosotis." Ellion told her all about his 'observations'.
"That sounds great. But, you know, all of these 'observations' are leading me to become suspicious of something. You're not stalking me, are you?" Alice grinned and to cover his embarrassment Ellion pointed at her with his fork and swallowed his mouth full of mash potatoes.
"That was your inner Valkyrie Cain speaking, not you." he pointed out playfully and she nodded.
"Right, I need to get used to being me. Wait, how can I be me if I don't know who 'me' is." Alice frowned.
"We need to find who that is first," Ellion replied and she nodded again. Just then there was a red flash of light and Gracious's hands appeared through Vivi's portal clutching at the ground, trying to resist a force on the other side that was trying to pull him back in.
"Help! Help me, someone! She's crazy! She's murderous! Just please let me out, I'm begging you! It's like a stuffed toy hell! And she's the devil! They're all alive and moving and creepy! Please help!" Gracious screamed, terror in his eyes.
"Oh my god! Gracious, what happened?" Donegan yelled and took hold of Gracious's hands, pulling him out of the portal. As soon as he was free Gracious stood up and ran shuddering and crying out the pub. Vivi came out through the portal effortlessly.
"Oh, sorry about that. My toys liked him. They wanted to each keep a piece of him. It was a frenzy in there." she smiled happily and closed the portal, sitting back down in her chair. Donegan, Ellion, China, and Saracen eyed her carefully and she just sat at her chair smiling innocently.
Poor, poor Gracious. I wonder if he's going to be alright or if he's gonna board the crazy train. Vivi's certainly aboard though and it seems Clarabelle will be joining her rather soon! Yay! So we got some crazy Vivi in this chapter, also some Alice and Ellion! Dudes, we should get a ship name for that! Have I said that before? I might have... But anywho, comment on what you think a good ship name for Alice and Ellion is...Hey, or, we could make this a competition??? Yah, or Nah? I think I'm gonna do a competition in the next chapter! Yay, so don't comment on a ship name cause next chapter there will be a competition!
